Regarding a former discussion (that I missed.)

To continue the thread of this discussion:
I would hate to think that a person with no scrupples - that thinks that it is okay to steal other peoples hard work - CALLS THEMSELVES A TEACHER.
Sorry - you are taking beautiful workpages dishonestly. |

What pages are you talking about... because they have used the template nothing more... all the content is their own work. A board game template can be found everywhere, maybe she didn �t realise that the template was important? I don �t think it is right to continue this harassment of another member when it is very clear that apart from the template they used (and they used different ones) WHEN ALL THE CONTENT IS CLEARLY DIFFERENT. THEY HAVE NOT COPIED THE ACTUAL CONTENT FROM ANY OTHER MEMBERS ONE BIT.
If they had, then yes I would report them in an instant. But they have not, and as I have said maybe they did not realise the template should have been credited.
The last example given from a different member was copied. The link was reported. I personally think that you are being very unfair to someone who has not had an opportunity to explain. A simple personal message to them saying, hey you need to credit the template was all that was really needed in this case. Don �t you think? I don �t think that this person can be lumped in with the people that actually steal and copy whole worksheets from other members, or copy from websites. The content is their own.

OK LETS UNCOVER THE TRUTH HERE:
miss - miss (F) �s nice Daily Routine Boardgame used simple Board TEMPLATE from Jefferson County Schools, which can be created within 10 minutes... http://jc-schools.net/tutorials/game/gameboard-complete.doc the boardgame TEMPLATE can be downloaded for free...
Then miss miss put some NEW COLOURS and typed the sentences related to Daily Routine. See here: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=201107#thetop
After that, linggarjati USED board coloured by miss-miss and TYPED DIFFERENT SENTENCES. http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=201440#thetop AND she used different colours in here http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=201449#thetop
the last link provided http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=201443#thetop is also a used boargame template from SOURCE and linggarjati SHOULD INCLUDE this information... see sources "yupii" boardgames here : - http://www.eslprintables.com/buscador/author.asp?user=110077#thetop but the content seem new and OK
NOW, I think, when miss - miss (F)
borrowed the template from Jefferson County and didn �t state the SOURCE of board template, then why couldn �t linggarjati borrow the borrowed template? No-one stated the source, but THIS BOARD TEMPLATE is so simple easy to make, that I think THIS DEBATE IS NOT APPROPRIATE !!! THE CONTENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT thing. And it seems to be ORIGINAL !!!
Well,
miss-miss AND MANY eslprintable CONTRIBUTORS USES SIMPLE templates of board DOWNLOADED from web, which is
perfectly OK and MANY contributors here DO THE same thing EVERY WEEK. It
would be REALLY NICE, if people stated the source AND included the
weblink where the TEMPLATE is from, but they usually don �t do it...
PS:
What I hate is when somebody uses a COMPLICATED HARD-MADE board made by
Pinky Makus or anybody else AND DOESN �T ASK FOR PERMISSION !!! or at
least doesn �t state the source...

LET �S SUM UP THE TOPIC:
we can use a free SIMPLE board template from internet AND TYPE NEW SENTENCES and change the background --- that is what linggarjati probably DID - that seems OK to me !!! ( I cannot be 100% sure if s/he really typed the new sentences, but I AM SURE s/he DIDN �T steal (copy-pasted) those boardgame CONTENT from miss-miss ) .
we CANNOT JUST copy a boargame with sentences/words and state it as ours... we
CANNOT use cute and COMPLEX board TEMPLATE from ESLPRINTABLES
contributor WITHOUT asking for permission and WITHOUT a link for the
original post !!! (see Pinky Makus wonderful boardgames... as an example) WE SHOULD INCLUDE THE LINK / source of boardgame template used...

Thanks a lot moravc... My expectation is s/he at least can inform me ... So it wont be a problem for me... As asking for permission is not a diffucult thing furthermore taking support is better...
As in this one...
and that one...
